Jared Demond Pickett v. State
Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Jared Demond Pickett v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-13-01080-CR Trial court case number: 1315857 Trial court: 182nd District Court Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief concluding that the above- referenced appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967). Counsel has not, however, filed a motion to withdraw from representation.
If appointed counsel believes that an appeal is frivolous, counsel must request permission to withdraw. See id. An Anders brief must accompany a motion to withdraw, neither the brief nor the motion may be filed on its own. See id.; In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406–08 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).
Accordingly, we order appellant’s appointed counsel, Terrence Gaiser, to file with the Clerk of this Court within 10 days of the date of this order a motion to withdraw that complies with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 6.5 and 9. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5, 9; Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 410, 412.
It is so ORDERED.
